Yeah, I'm looking forward to feeling normal again.
Decent smoke beats the shit out of anti-depressants. The A-Ds that my anti-pot GP prescribed have started to get me very lethargic ... more like easily fatigued I think. I get tired, but can't sleep. Then when I eventually get to sleep, I sleep for too long and half the day disappears. A little while back when I told him I couldn't sleep, he prescribed Temazapam (10mg). Well, it takes three of them to get me tired, but I still don't end up sleeping until after 3 or 4 in the morning. Add the other side-effects like no interest in sex and a few other fucked up things and my long held distrust in prescription medicines are justified.
Prior to this doc prescribing these pills, I didn't take any chemical drugs. Not even paracetamol. At the moment, and this is why I haven't had a smoke in so long, is we're away from our home town working. My medicine of choice used to be about a gram a day of good bud. I could function. I could sleep normally. My lady and I had a healthy (very healthy) sex life.
I haven't been able to work for a long time due to the depression and anxiety, but the A-Ds haven't changed that in any way. They've just made my non-working life worse. So, we've got a good relative bringing us medicine and we'll make sure we can get a regular supply of good bud where we are. I'll have to lie to the GP and pretend to be taking my 'meds' as he prescribes them. That shits me, but if I don't bullshit the doc, I can't get our version of invalid pension while I'm not working.
Ah, it's a tangled web. The sooner medicinal marijuana is allowed in my country the better. But I gone of the subject of this thread, so I'll shut up now.
